This page is for listing resources that may help new users and adoptees. For resources to be used by adopters please see here.
Joining the adoption program is easy, and there are two ways of getting adopted. Either look at the list of adopters who are actively seeking new adoptees here; if you find one you like, contact them on their talk page. The alternative is add the phrase {{subst:dated|adoptme}} to your user page, and we hope that it won't be too long before an experienced user will come along and offer to adopt you.
Dealing with conflict
Sometimes, against all best efforts, we get into conflicts with other users. The following links may help you gain the skills or services to help manage them:
If you have a technical question try the Help desk, and its FAQ. Alternatively add {{helpme}} to your talk page, state what your problem is and someone will come along and help soon.
For general knowledge questions, the Reference desk is the place for you.
Join the IRC channel, Live Help Chat, for one-on-one live assistance from volunteer helpers.
Finally, you can always ask a question at our Adopt-a-User Talk Page, especially if you are having a problem with the Adoption process or your Adopter themselves.
